Can anybody suggest a book, web-site or software with a reasonable data base of "Inter Facial Angles" of various crystal forms and minerals.
Thanks.

Kevin,

Try Dana’s Textbook of Mineralogy, 4th Edition by W. E. Ford, 1932. It has a reasonable amount of data tabulated for important minerals. You often have to use stereographic projections and other drawings of crystal forms in the Crystallography section to figure out what faces are being referenced in the Descriptive Mineralogy section. It is not a rare book, and you can find well-priced copies at Amazon and other websites. Below is a photocopy of the data for orthoclase (bottom, p. 536) to give you a feel for it.

Thanks Norman
Looks like it's exactly what I want, as you said freely available on Amazon.
